The bodies of Andrew Stout, Steven White and Kaylie Bailey were discovered last spring at Stout’s Ottawa farm. The body of Bailey’s daughter, Lana-Leigh, was found several days later in a suitcase in a creek. Testimony showed all four died of gunshot wounds.

The judge ruled Wednesday at a preliminary hearing that there was probable cause to try Flack on the murder and weapons charges, but not a charge of attempted rape prosecutors had been seeking.
